If we’re scoring a lot of runs and winning, it will be fun.

Learned to drive in my older brothers little 84 Toyota pickup with a 4 on the floor. Eventually it became mine. No power steering, but you didn’t really need it in that little truck. As long as the truck was moving just a little bit, you could turn the steering wheel easily enough. A/C
Some unknown guy with a stutter telling knock knock jokes would have been better than that.

A deaf girl singing happy birthday would have been better.

I thought it was a Monte Carlo at first, but when I saw the grill I thought Buick.

The epa is its own worst enemy. By today’s standards, a real compact pickup would be required to get so high an mpg, if the manufacturers achieved it, it would be so underpowered that no one would want it.

I had never seen one until 2001.
I see them so often now, it’s not even a big deal.
I see them at home. At the hunting camp. While fishing. I even see them at this shitty plant where I spend far too much of my life.

I don’t know if I have a hands down favorite actor, but it’d probably be narrowed down to Duval, Hanks and Costner. ETA: And Kurt Russell. Tou

This is hands down the ugliest truck ever made.
It’s not m opinion. It’s a fact. Add in the self destructing engines, and there’s exactly zero reason to buy a tundra.

Many of those trucks did have issues.

Yeah, I enjoyed that one too. I had no idea who Doug Kenny was. He died 5 months before I was born. It’s a shame he never saw how much people love Caddy Shack.

It built tension. It put you in Lorne’s shoes. The show starts in XX minutes and not a damn thing is going well.

The movie about the 90 minutes right before airtime of episode 1.

I enjoyed it. I thought the impersonations were quite good for the most part. I’m sure many of the situations in the film happened in real life, but I wonder if all of it happened on opening night.
